Ezekiel 40 &41; Psalm 128; Revelation 21

In the last couple of weeks my daughter got married, my last child to be married...the one living all the way in Los Angeles....here's a photo of her in the dress her now husband made for her..yup you heard me right he made her dress...gorgeous....
Sister in Law ....married 25 years come May w/some mentally challenging issues in her life has been diagnosed w/breast cancer and just this week began chemotherapy treatments.......this is scary stuff for she and her husband....sister and sil's are going to hang w/Teresa and Joe on those weeks...try to love on them and help them w/all that that nasty stuff brings....pray for Teresa please she is one precious woman without a doubt...
Best friend is moving, moving as in 45 minutes away.......daughter moving into best friends house.....that's some moving...
Hubs and I leave for South Africa in ....well it's exactly 3 weeks from today that we leave....South Africa.....how did that happen??? Exciting and frightening at the same time....
We are coaching small group leaders and Spiritually parenting/mentoring/discipling/ loving on some young couples.....
I think I'm just a bit scared right now....scared and excited and scared and scared and scared....
it's in this fear that I come always here to spending time w/God and in the sharing, hope to grow in how to love...how to share this love that You give....
hoping to encourage and be encouraged..
hoping to challenge and be challenged...
I try to live my life outside this blog that way but not sure how successful I am....
I don't know just alot going on and yet I find myself hopeful and not discouraged.....
stressed sometimes but not to the point of quitting...
I think my Abba is meeting me every time I turn to Him and that Jesus well, that in His saving of me I am more and more prone to want to introduce Him to others...I am a mess of course but don't seem to be beyond His love....even tho most of the time I am just plain scared...scared and feeling small.....weepy most of the time....soft and weepy which feels much better than hard.....at least most of the time....
Doesn't take much reading of the OT to see YOU in the details.....and maybe in this wrestling w/sovereignty I am learning to TRUST that....I hope so Abba...I hope so....
